Sex and Zen Reviews
If you see one Movie made in Hong Kong.....This is it
I didn't know what to expect from this movie when i first rented it...I thought it would probably be good for a laugh....wow....I was never more right. This movie is hilarious. I don't want to say too much to gve the plot away...thats half the fun of this movie....the plots shock value. All I will say is if a movie involving the most comical sex scene ever, very beautiful asian women, and a man who visits a drunken doctor for a very unusual (limb) transplant sounds entertaining....get this movie. And if that doesn't sound like your cup of tea...get it anyways. You wont be disappointed. I have made everyone I know watch this film and it has become a party favorite. If you dont find yourself laughing out loud at least a dozen times....check your pulse...your not alive.
My first exposure to Amy Yip
I initally got this film to humor a friend of mine. Then it turns out, it had me rolling on the floor with laughter for a majority of it. I liked it so much that I got the sequal. And this movie made me a fan of Amy Yip. If you want good erotic humor, Sex and Zen is a way to go.
This film is based on the classic book 'The Prayer-Mat of Flesh'. And it follows our main characther who is a scholar whose only pursuit is that of a carnal nature. He marries the most powerful man in the area's daughter so that he may have protection from the husbands of married women he carries on with. As his marriage begins, his wife is a virgin whom he introduces to sex, and as he wanders she has a desire for it that grows as well with longing while he's gone. Our dear scholar befriends the best thief in the land, and learns another secret to seduction...that being one that involves genetalia. So our hapless scholar enlists the help of a crazy doctor to transplant a horse phallus in the place of his own. With the operation finished, our scholar dallies around the land with a few different women, including the wife of a silk merchant, and the wife of a noble, and her sister in law. Meanwhile, our lovely young wife (played by the beautiful Amy Yip), is left home alone with only her desires.
She ends up being seduced by the silk merchant who was earlier shamed by our scholar, and sold to the biggest brothel in the province. Our scholar eventually escapes the noble's wife and sister in law, and ends up at this brothel, in an attempt to regain his eyesight (you need to see what happens to him to understand), where he runs into his wife, where our story twists again.
Despite it's comedic take on things, this story does have a very good and solid moral, along the lines of 'be careful of what you do unto others, as it may be done unto you.' It's by far not the best film I've ever seen, but it is definitely one of a kind, and as I said portrayed in a comedic erotic nature. The sequal to this film, was very different and much darker. Out of the two I would recommend Sex & Zen to anyone who wants to see some erotic humor.
